“Last week, I voted for the sixth and final budget of my legislative career as a state senator. The budget we produced is as indelible as it is historic, for the simple fact that it was bipartisan.

It has been almost two decades since the Arizona legislature came together to pass a budget not as Democrats, not as Republicans, but together, working for the common good of all Arizonans. Being a part of this year’s budget process and helping negotiate significant investments in our K-12 public schools and state universities will go down as one of my greatest accomplishments.” — Sen. Sean Bowie, D-Phoenix
